Not enough hair to be a duke of hazard! Hilarious!
LOL! Based on this strip, it seems I've been The Chosen One on more than a few occasions. (Funny, though, I seemed to lose the title at the 'refusal to give money' part.)
I came here via CakeWrecks. I love you. Stay golden.
I'm not usually one to complain about spelling in a webcomic... but it's spelled "prophecy" unless it's being used as a verb. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy
s/prophesy/prophecy/
Door to door prophet scam artists, I love it!
For the record, prophesy is a verb. The one you're looking for is prophecy.
Cool, it's almost like two Basic Instructions in one, "How to Fulfill the Prophesy" and "How to Make a Good Prophesy"
Heh heh. The girl with the jade green eyes. You're going to need a six-demon bag to pull that off!
Whoa. Where did this come from - was it perchance a real-life conversation?
AHAAHAHA!
"Prophesy" is a verb. The noun is "prophecy."
Thus endeth the dickish comment.
Dude! Dude! PropheCy...
Um, the noun "prophecy" is spelt with a "c" not an "s". Prophesy is the verb form, i.e. meaning "to prophesy".
Excellent comic as usual, sir! Especially timely and hilarious as I've been re-watching the Buffy series lately. (I'm guessing someone's already pointed out that this should be "prophecy" throughout, right? Sorry, sorry! It's just that I'm the Chosen One who must proclaim proper grammar throughout the English-speaking world. Destiny is a terrible burden.)
"Wow. It sucks to be the chosen one."
Wisdom for the ages. Great strip, Scott--thanks.
can't believe you spilled beans in panel 3!
Thanks for fixing the spelling before I got to read it! =P Keep up the great comics Scott!
It was along about then, ol' Boss Hogg showed them Duke boys what prophesizin' was all about.
Ya'll better hang on to yer boots.
It is written that when I see these guys, I shall hang on to my wallet. And it will suck to be them.
Trying to get the references in Panel 3, maybe you guys can help me out there?

Love the Girl with the Jade Green Eyes reference. That book almost ruined my adolescence when I got it as a 12-year old birthday present from my Mom, who hadn't read it.
Two references I didn't get and are too generic to google:
Straighten the curves?
Flatten the Hills?
Uhm... I dunno if a Six-Demon Bag is going to cut it. I mean we're talking Black Blood of the Earth here, at least. Unless, maybe, you had a magic potion...
This is truly one of the stranger BIs to come down the pike. And I mean that in a good way.
Nice shout-out to "Big Trouble in Little China", Scott. One sees far too few these days.
